Given that the Philippine government implements high taxes on everyone it is a wonder that the share of everything we earn given up to the government does not go back
countries do not receive an education, this leads to people being less experienced and will also have less skills compared to those who do receive an education. Therefore companies employing people with no skills will mean that there will be less productivity and there will be inefficiency which will cause a decrease in economic growth. As expected there are countries that have high inequality in contrast to countries that have low inequality, supporting my point of view is the fact that many of the
individuals identified in the preceding question Eli Whitney (1800) Eli is credited for the early popularization of interchangeable parts, which was achieved through standardization and quality control. Through a contract he signed with the U.S. government for 10 000 muskets, he was able to command a premium price because of their interchangeable parts. Frederick W.

at that year currency exchange rate from Canadian forex (one US dollar equal to 7.97 yuan), which is equal to around 2635 U.S. dollars. Even though, the Chinese annual wage increase significantly compared with the year 1978 which is the Chinese government just embarked on “Economic reform”. In 1978, for the workers who lived in cities only can earn the average around 1000 U.S. dollars annually. It is only account for 3 percent of U.S. average annual salary in 1978 (Hongbin Li 2012). At that time
Wagner’s Law. Wagner’s law, otherwise known as the principle of growing government expenditure, was formulated at the end of the 19th century. The concept of Wagner’s law is that, as a country industrializes and the economy grows, people will demand more and better provision of goods and services from the government, including social welfare through transfers, requiring increasing government expenditures (Lamartina & Zaghini, 2011). Wagner offered some arguments to ground this assumption. To begin
The local workforce was then supplemented with foreign labour -- import cheap foreign labour to work because small nation lacking workers -- success -- government saw reliance on foreign labour as integral to industrial restructuring toward higher labour productivity. In the first 2 decades since its independence, Singapore experienced a continuous growth in its economy, with GDP constantly above 5 percent while maintaining inflation rate below global averages.

with productivity we benefit from brain dump . “ Human capital is what makes individuals productive, and productivity is what determines our standard of living.”(Wheelan, 130). By investing in human capital, we are able to have more skilled workers who are productive and positively affect the economy because we make more contribution and therefore will get more in return. Productivity is amount of input that yields output. Immigrants affect the government by contributing their productivity into
assuming that average labour productivity continues to grow? What if average labour productivity stagnates? Solution 1: Slowing population growth and an increased share of retired people both imply slower growth in the number of people employed. If average labour productivity (output per employed worker) continues to grow at earlier rates, total output will still grow more slowly than before, because of slower growth in the number of workers. If average labour productivity stagnates, then total output
